French Friday: Anna Karina Tote Bags
I have not cooked a French recipe in several weeks, so we will just have to delight ourselves today not with food but with darling tote bags. I like to keep a tote bag (filled with yet more tote bags) hanging by the front door for carrying library books, groceries, sweaty gym clothes, and a farmer’s market haul. How charming to have one graced with the visage of one of my favorite actresses, and an homage to one of my favorite films? (And if Audrey’s more, um, your bag, they’ve got her, too.)
What delights and fun are on the agenda for this weekend? We’re looking at our annual April snowstorm in New York, which I’m trying to see as a last chance to enjoy the best things about winter. And you? What magic is in store?

Zarah: Super cute bags! I keep a “bag of bags” in my entryway closet so hopefully I will remember to grab it before I go grocery shopping. I am having a party for my son’s first birthday this weekend. It should be quite magical, indeed.1 year ago
Sam: These are amazing! I have been looking for the *perfect* gift for my cousin. Now I know what to get her…Happy Friday!1 year ago
Katie: Adorable bags. I’ve got several cute tote bags, and I’m always grabbing one to hold books or food or knitting or whatever.
We’re looking at snow and slush here in Boston too…but I am headed to hear a new favorite author speak tonight, at the Harvard Book Store. There will be books, and hot drinks, and general coziness.1 year ago
Cadi: I was just telling someone recently how I am such a sucker for a tote bag in any size, shape and color I can get it. I too keep a bag full of them by the door for all manner of dragging my life around.
After last weekends monsoon, THIS weekend is supposed to be 78 degrees and gorgeous. I’m planning on spending every possible minute outside in a sundress and sandals. Our lilac bush just started blooming too, which is my favorite spring smell. I might have to get out some lillet and champagne spritzers to celebrate all this loveliness. Happy weekend to you Sarah!1 year ago
Roxanne: I <3 tote bags. Ours aren't as pretty as these, but do the trick all the same.
As for the weekend. Finally having a girls night with a friend!1 year ago
I know I said I would enjoy the last moments of “winter”, but I must admit to being jealous of Cadi’s talk of lilacs, sundresses and sandals. Le sigh.1 year ago
Cadi: Enjoy those last moments of winter! We’ll all be missing butternut squash and kale soon enough.1 year ago
Designing Diva: I have so many totebooks, both at home, in my car, and at work – so handy and so many pretty patterns to choose from….I guess I have a bag and purse “problem”…….I am looking forward to celebrating my birthday tomorrow and enjoying a dinner out with my hubby and some champagne and birthday cake – the perfect combo!

wendy: Ah, totebags. How I love you. Let me count the ways…..stuffed in the car ready for groceries, books, yard sales…and one in my purse too!
They can be so pretty! and colorful..I do have my favorites!
To day we see 85 degrees and working in the wasteland we call a backyard, trying to plant a garden. Some north winds will blow on Monday, but today we dig and mulch and compost. Oh, and clean out the garbage. Garage. What a difference 1 letter can make!1 year ago
Kanesha: These are so cute, Sarah! I’m looking for fun mother’s day gifts for a tea party. This would be delightfully dainty and quite perfect – with our French linens – don’t you think?

Lilly: Hi Sarah, I just wanted to say, I love your blog. I could spend hours browsing around.
I have a few tote bags, but I mainly make my own crochet bags. Come and see them on my blog

I live in London, and spring is finally here. There are beautiful daffodils in the gardens and blossom is everywhere.
Thanks for great posts. See you soon.
